More Universities Offering Professional Certificates Over 4-Year Degrees. Reggie Herndon returned to college because he wanted to change careers. What he didn’t want was another degree. Herndon, a University of Tennessee graduate from Lynchburg, Va., is on his way instead to finishing a nine-month professional certificate in counterintelligence from Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pa., which he hopes will bolster his odds of landing a job as an intelligence analyst with a defense contractor or government agency.
